A Word About Catarrh.

Ut is the mucous membrane, that wonderful semi-uid envelope surrounding the delicate tissues of the air and food passages, that Catarrh makes it's stronghold Once established, it eats into the very vitals, and renders life but a long-drawn breath of misery and disease, dullng the sense of hearing, trammeling the power of speech, destroy ing the faculty of smell, tainting the breath, and by creeping from simple cold in the head, it as sauts the membranous lining and enveopS the bones, eating through the delicate coats and caus ing inflammation, sloughing and death. Nothing short Of total eradication will secure health to the patient, and all alleviatives are simply procrasti mated sufferings, leading to fatal termination. Sanford Radical Cure, by inhalation and by in- ternal administration, has never failed even when the disease has made frghtful inroads on delicate constitutions, hearing, smell and taste have been recovered, and the disease thoroughly driven out"
 Each packet contains bottle of the RADICAL CURE, one box of CATARRHAL SOLVENT and an IM- PROVED INHALER, with treatise and directions, and is sold by all druggists for S1.0O.

Dies Suddenly Early Last Evening at His ResIdence-Death of a Valuabl And Useful Man.
 The sad news spread rapidly last evening about town among his large circle of friends and acquaintances that Deacon Samuel G.
 Thorne was dead, having died quite sudden | ly at his residence Wall street between \ five and six o'clock. He had been about the city and at his office as usual of late, and the ! news of his death came as @ shock to his friends, being wholly unexpected. Heart ! disease, it is supposed, was the cause. Dea-
 con Thorne will be greatly missed in his
 church relations, as well as from our busi- | ness circles. He was 8 deacon in the old Third Congregational church from about the close of the war until it was merged into the
 North church, the two being consolidated as \ the United church, and upon the consolida- | tion was elected deacon under the new re- gime, holding the position until his death. I He was also very active and useful in the | movement which resulted in the consolida- | tion and was always a useful man in his church, ever ready to render service when help was needed and was a liberal giver in proportion to his means. He served the
 Third church for many years as superintend- | ent of it's Sunday school and was clerk of the
 church for 8 considerable period. He was | also very efficient in the various positions he occupied. He was born in Portsmouth, N. H., and came to New Haven in 1856. He
 was for years during the war of the rebellion paymaster on United States vessel. He ! was for years confidential clerk and book keeper at the W. & E. T. Fitch manufactory,
 and held a responsible place for several years
 in the bookkeeping department of the Home ! Insurance company which hourished for years
 here. In later years he engaged in the fire
 insurance business and was connected with
 the Charles Wilson insurance office. For the
 last few years he had engaged almost exclu-
 sively in the placing of western loans, in
 which he did quite large business He was
 the soul of integrity and his character was irTeproachable. His wife is daughter of
 Rev. pr. Lord, clergyman of note, who de- livered series of lectures on the Holy Land I at the old Third church fifteen years ago or
 more, which drew large and cultivated audi ences. Deceased leaves three daughters one of whom is married, the wife of Rev MT. Dickinson, of Wallingford.

MOSQUITOES.

All Manner of Means Taken to Keep
 Them From Biting Hut Without
 Avail-Peop1e Leaving the Shore.
 Not for thirty years have there been such immense swarms of mosquitoes at the shore resorts at Stony Creek and along the east shore as were concentrated in the last week, and the people wish that for thirty years to come there may never be such another mos- quito season. During the frequent rains and humid atmosphere the pests have breed ed rapidly in the swamps, marshes and un- derbrush sections and will remain until the wind gets out of the south and blows them somewhere else. People at the shore, especially at Stony Creek and Branford Point, are suffering greatly from these pests, which light on them as thick as flies on 6 piece of restaurant pie and hang on until filled and gory with blood, when they are killed by their victims. All devices are used to keep them from biting, such as penny royal, camphor, cigarette and cigar smoke, but without avail, and the ladies have been obliged to wear gossamers all the time-e ven to bed-to get few minutes rest from the little creatures, which, after a nights raid, cause their victim to look like a person sick with the measles. Many people have left the shore and returned home to stay until the mosquitoes have gone, thinking them selves much better able to stand the heat than the insects. At one of the Creek hotels 8 colored waiter stood at the door of the en-
 trance and brushed off each guest as he came to enter, keeping the door closed until the guest was brushed off, and then hurrying him inside in order to keep out the unwelcome intruders. Men return ing from walk had their clothes so covered with mosquitoes that it was hard to tell the color of their coats, and the ladies when obliged to go from one cottage to another went with face and neck covered with veils,
 etc. Despite every precaution the pests would get inside the hotels and houses and torment the inmates, who in vain sought to sleep. The pests have been unusually num- erous everywhere along the coast this season.

 time to turn out the hay. When he didn't return, the father went to search for him The clothes were on the bank of the pond, and a little search revealed the dead body in about five feet of water. Quickly the agon- ized father hitched up his team to get help. On the road he overlook Michael Hamley, a milkman, whom he asked to turn out for him. The milkman merely whipped up his horses. Going over a bar in the road the milk wagon broke, the horses ran, the wagon was smashed, ,and the drivers leg was broken. MT. Baldwin procured aid for his boy, but it was too late: life was extinct.

which is different from our indigenous pro- duct in many regards. It is 8 perfectly hum less, silent, determined beast, quite small, an instantaneous stinger, and endowed with as much courage and contempt of death as the bravest of Napoleon's soldiers. Like the Old Guard, it "dies, but does not surren- der." You can kill with ease any number; they do not dream of flying, but they raise their monument on your skin-pedestal, col umn and all. And the armies march on to further and continued attack. They have long stingers. At least they penetrate balbrig- gan wrappers and flannel shirts with perfect ease, and at prominent points aleo flannel trousers. The sheet is no impeachment what ever. It was battle raging all night and fought with intrepid but not successful eff fort on my part. With the earliest dawn I rushed to the shore and buried my swollen body in the sea waves. That day my hat didn't fit me. My collar was size too small. The salt water allayed the itching, but brought out the swellS. was desperate.
